Whatever comments have been made about Padilla are absolutely immune because, not only are they true, they represent fair comments about ongoing litigation.

This is total lunacy. It is absolutely not true.

That's absolutely ludicrous. Putting the monkey on the employers' back - that's not fair.

This case is about the obligation the agency has to do a background check on someone with access to your home and access to the most cherished possession in the home, namely children. In a society that does background checks on bus drivers and teachers, the nanny industry seems to have slipped behind some dark corner.

The terrible irony of this case is that the system did what it was supposed to do. It was faced with heinous allegations and took the children away based on those allegations.
